“It has been a little rough going so far,” Wellington coach Travis Gray said. “Our four returning state qualifiers haven't been able to wrestle a match yet, and we have had a number of kids out due to injuries and other issues. Fortunately, we have really good depth and have been able to use the next-man-up mentality.”

Palm Beach Central jumped out to an early 4-0 lead on a major decision by Joseph Fedorak (106) before Wellington took control with wins by Martin Navarrette (113), Chakiris Townsend (120), Ethan Howard (126), Luke Forehand (138), and Seth Rhodes (145). Palm Beach Central’s Anthony Trevino won at 132, while teammate Nick Rosati (152) also won for the Broncos.

Estefan Belmontes (160), John Barry (170), and Tenzin Tognini (182) all won and extended the Wolverines’ lead to 48-13. After the Broncos’ Tedrick Patterson won at 195, Wellington closed out with wins by Elijah Green (220) and Preston Morrow (285).
